Well, I installed finally Debian. So far - I like it, but I'm having few questions/unsolved problems that occured. Can someone help me there?
1. Under X - I see some shadow of lighter windows on the darker parts of the screen. Which was not the case before. Looks like some unproper phase or I don't know ...
2. How I right click ?
3. Under console - I get a lot of ugly messages when something hardware-specific happens - SD card ejected/plugged in and so on. I tried disabling at /etc/syslog.conf but no success.
4. I downloaded mplayer for iwmmxt from Angstrom, but I'm not able to run anything with -vo pxa. What else needs to be done?
5. I solved this - no USB device was loading at all - I had to 'modprobe ohci-hcd'
Thanks in advance, guys. If there are any other questions, I will add in another post below this one.

Just a quick reply:
1. Windows shadows: I don't seem to see it in my setup
2. The default setting is: [Calendar] + tap = left click; [Address] + tap = middle click; [Mail] + tap = right click. These are the settings done with xbindkeys. You can always change them with xbindkeys-config, or you may want to check out a recent thread on xmonobut about an alternative solution.
3. console messages: could you post them here?
4. mplayer: you don't need that, if you use the new rootfs tarball. mplayer is preinstalled. Both the angstrom and the debian ones work well
5. usb module loading: it should have been preloaded. but i will check this.
In short, if you use the new rootfs tarball, things will work out more or less as expected.
Again, which kernel and which rootfs (oabi, eabi, which rootfs tarball) are you using?

I don't have a clue about the X shadow problem. What X server are you using? Which installation of debian? There are a number of ways of getting debian on a Z, and each of them has its own quirks. Is this oabi (such at titchy), or eabi (armel)? But certainly the X server is key. The only sane way to go would be with the kdrive server, the xorg server, if it works at all, would gobble lots more ram.
For the right-click, I use keylaunch and configure Ctrl-1 (2,3) to have xmodmap remap the "buttons" so:
key=.*.1:xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3"
key=.*.2:xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 3"
key=.*.3:xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 1 2"
There are other ways, such as using xmonobut, but this works for me.
For the usb --- so, once you modprobed ohci-hcd I presume it worked. Usb works fine for me. You can auto-start ohci-hcd if you want.

Console messages are really annoying ... for example, when I put the SD in, i get this:
mmc0: card b368 removed
I also get randomly these:
sharpsl-pm sharpsl-pm: Warning: Cannot read main battery!
About 1. - I made a shot with my mobile ... I hope you see what I mean - It's kinda hard to see on this photo, but the idea is that I have 2 darker areas on the blue desktop above the lighter gray window

6. Another question - How I can compile modules the easier way ? I mean - ok, I download 2.6.23.9 kernel, unpack it, what patches I have to apply, and what config ?

I followed installation example from this thread: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=25029 (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=25029)
I got only 2.6.23.9-yonggun instead of 2.6.23.1
for the usb - I put this in /etc/modules, so it should be loaded next time.
another question ...
7. Did anyone managed to run Planex GW-CF11X wifi card ? Where I do put the hex files on debian? What else needs to be done for 2.6.x kernel ...
-
4. mplayer: you don't need that, if you use the new rootfs tarball. mplayer is preinstalled. Both the angstrom and the debian ones work well
Well, they work well, but how I can play any of the avis i have - All I get is:

It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was
compiled/optimized for.
Verify this!
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

Could you try this module which I patched for "PLANEX GeoWave/GW-CF110"? I am not sure it works because I did not test. Just take off the extention (tar.gz) which is for uploading the file.
mplayer issue: I tested mplayer with 2.6.23.9. pxa option works well using mplayer-iwmmxt. Did you check whether you have all libraries? My option to play the movie is "-vo pxa -vm -fs" for qvga.
Edit) I deleted the module.

qvga is 320x240, right ? What about 640x480 ? I had a really nice playback with overclocked to 624 and using bvdd on pdaXrom beta3 ... as I understood pxa is the 2.6 driver that's similar to bvdd ? it's just not working with 640x480 ...

I am wrong. Information of PLANEX GW-CF110 is in the original kernel. Why don't you try it using orinoko_cs module in origianl modules instead of orinoco_cs I just uploaded.
I watched many 640x480 movies with nomal speed 412 using pxa. It does not require the overclocking to 624. Try it again using another movie.

Well, seems like my Planex card is simply broken ... i get a lot of errors. it does not fit correctly into the slot, something _is_ broken and i don't want to lose more time on software stuff, if it's hardware related problem.
about movies - All I get trying to play with mplayer-iwmmxt 640x480 encoded movies is :

Could you check the libraries which mplayer require with this command "ldd /path/to/mplayer". You may not have libdirectfb.

When I build the kernel, I embeded pxa into it so I don't have any module related to pxa. I don't understand what happened to you. Could you try it again with this mplayer in my blog which may be same as yours. ( http://yonggun.tistory.com/54 (http://yonggun.tistory.com/54) )

@kkazakov13: if you feel that something got messed up and want to try over again, there is an updated rootfs tarball in jpmatrix ftp. It will be downloadable very soon.

When I build the kernel, I embeded pxa into it so I don't have any module related to pxa. I don't understand what happened to you. Could you try it again with this mplayer in my blog which may be same as yours. ( http://yonggun.tistory.com/54 (http://yonggun.tistory.com/54) )
Well, I used mplayer from angstrom feeds, maybe that's my problem. I will try yours, as soon as I'm at home. Thanks!

Well, I managed ot install everything from the tarball, and fixed everything mentioned as fixes, so I don't think there will be any difference.
P.P. I have my own server in Germany and can help with space, traffic and bandwidth - I have a LOT of them. If you or anyone needs storage place, contact me on kkazakov@gmail.com

Did you try it with ZDevil's rootfs tarball? If it doesn't work either, I will send you my rootfs.

@kkazakov13: When I finish to make new rootfs, I will sent it to you.
Q: Is there someone else who succeeded watching the movie with pxa option?

Thanks!
If you need space for general uploading, just contact me in PM.
Also, I've noticed mouse moving around when i hold the stylus down, which is annoying as not always it clicks
Also - can you tell me in brief how I can compile modules under zaurus debian ... what needs to be patched and what to be downloaded and so on ... i only built kernel modules so far under slackware plain kernel ... nothing like this now.

Well, videos play very well on my setup (using my rootfs tarball with 2or0's mplayer package preinstalled).
I just follow 2or0's instructions:
QVGA videos: mplayer -vo pxa -vm FILE
VGA videos: mplayer -vo pxa -fs FILE
kkazakov13: are you sure the rootfs tarball you are using is okay?

I'm not sure Well, I will redownload and reinstall it again ... i did exactly as mentioned ... but something may gone wrong, no idea what.

3. Under console - I get a lot of ugly messages when something hardware-specific happens - SD card ejected/plugged in and so on. I tried disabling at /etc/syslog.conf but no success.
This can be fixed in the /etc/default/klogd. Replace default value of the KLOGD with this one:
KLOGD="-x -c 4"
Where 4 is an error level and can be one of the following:
0: KERN_EMERG, system is unusable
1: KERN_ALERT, action must be taken immediately
2: KERN_CRIT, critical conditions
3: KERN_ERR, error conditions
4: KERN_WARNING, warning conditions
5: KERN_NOTICE, normal but significant condition
6: KERN_INFO, informational
7: KERN_DEBUG, debug-level messages

11. I uncommented the line in fstab for auto mounting SD cards in /etc/fstab , to me it looks correct ... but nothing happened. Of course - I did 'mount -a' ...
mount -a mounts the card - that's ok. but how to automount on insert ?
Vitel : tnx for the info this was the reason for the logs

Well - I reinstalled debian and tried - mplayer but got illegal instruction once, and cannot open pxa device or sth like this once too, trying with -vo pxa and -vo sdl - none worked
Then I downloaded mplayer + mplayer-common from http://yonggun.tistory.com/54 (http://yonggun.tistory.com/54) and got this error that it cannot open /dev/fb2
damn it ... continuing to try ...

kkazakov13, will you check your mplayer has pxa output, like mplayer -vo help?

The one that came with the rootfs didn't had pxa (only SDL), yours had. Your gave the error with /dev/fb2. Should I recreate it ?
I gave up last night, will continue to try this evening.

Hello 2or0 and all,
I've made exactaly what kkazakov13 made. Installed the new zdevil tarball and the mplayer installed there did not have the pxa support (maybe it's because of the upgrade status of the tarball). I've installed your mplayer and when I try to use -fs with mine 640x480 videos, on some there is the /dev/fb2 error and on others there is this error:
vo_pxa: config() FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO to fd failed: 22
When I use -vm -fs or only -vm, the video is bigger than the screen (seems like a VGA in a QVGA screen).
What can I do to track the error? So we know the pxa is really there (if not the -vm would not work), the problem should be with the framebuffer library, what should I try to reinstall or install?
Thanks,
glac

I found what is the problem. The pxa option of mplayer supports 480x640 screen resolution instead of 640x480. So you need to convert 640x480 to 480x640 when you encode movie.

Well, good to know that It's not my hardware that is different from everyone else.
Is there any way I can modify the mplayer code to prevent me from reenconding my videos to see in my Z?
At least there is a solution. What do you do to? You just reencode your videos to play in your Z or you simply don't use it for watching videos.
Wich program do you recomend to do this job?
Thanks for the reply!
